Unless things changed at some point, I believe libgaim-remote only supports polling. This obviously would not be a good thing. Quite a bit of work would be needed to solve this cleanly. Namely, a large portion of libgaim-remote would need rewriting. I'm really not too thrilled with the idea of binding Gaim and Evolution (even though I'm a Gaim developer). I think it should be more generic, so that you could use Gossip, or anything else supporting whatever interface is created (but then, that's why I'm developing Galago - http://galago.sf.net/) > > 3.

I've been working constantly on this, although it's more of a generic solution that would benefit any program that can feed presence (Gaim, gossip, kopete, gnomemeeting, etc.) and any program that can receive it (Evolution, KMail, etc.). I haven't worked on the Mail side of Evolution yet, but that's just because I've been fine-tuning the core of the whole thing. With the widgets and API available through Galago, the Mail portion shouldn't take too long to finish up. And best of all, you won't be required to use Gaim.
